Well his replica at least. Just picked it up for our upcoming TWS event.

I remember seeing him wear that helmet(Troy Lee design I believe).I bet that set ya back a few bucks,I've seen signed helmet face shields go for big bucks on E-bay and can only wonder what an entire helmet would cost.

 

That's sweet

Tracy and his team were due to do something at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with the Derek Daly academy the week after we were there in early December. They had brand new suits and helmets laid out on a table in the middle of the place. They look awesome in person.

 

The helmet came in only a few hours ago and I just had to show it off. It is really nice looking in person. It seems very well made and is lightweight, made of carbon and aramide fibers. Just about too pretty to use.

Can't say this for sure but I think that wing on the back means it's a helmet used only on the super speedways to keep your head from bouncing around.

 

Pretty much. The back lip is there for stability in an open air car. More so for indy style cars but can't hurt, I hope, when the top is dropped at the track in two weeks. We shall see.

Also I see your from Culver City. I use to play ball at a little park there when I lived in L.A. Miss the activity back in Cali but am so glad I am out of all that traffic. Lived at Figueroa and 2nd/3rd, downtown, next to the tunnel were it seems just about every commercial with a tunnel was filmed.

I work on Figueroa and 6th street at The Jonathan Club,I know the tunnel your talking about.Back in the 30's 40's 50's a small rail car called Angel's Flight ran up and down Bunker Hill beside that tunnel.

 

Tracy is a clown! he can't keep the car on the road.

 

Yeah, he is such a clown - he only won the first race of the season by a handy margin. He'd have been further ahead if it weren't for the multiple yellow flags throughout the race... Give him his due - he can drive well, though I'll admit he does tend to get impatient and push too hard from time to time.

 

He won because all the good guys have migrated to F1 or IRL. I'll be surprised if he can string some wins together and be consistent enought to take the championship. The only real deal Canadian race car driver out there is JV.
